Living next-door to tom and Judy for the past 25 yrs. has always made my family feel safe. He was always finding my girls stats from their sports and clipping them to tape on our front door. Would always show up for games when my girls asked him too. RIP Tom

Tom embodied the spirit of St.Agnes High School. He was an inspiration for many of us. Rest in peace, Tom, you will be missed!

Mr. Basinski's wit and grace on the page will be missed. My condolences to his family, friends and co-workers.

Yes, you are right, business as usual. We, the general public, have a slight chance that SDG&amp;E will start behaving itself a bit better IF the CPUC miscreants get the walloping they so well deserve. Wouldn't it be great!

Thank you for recognizing the passing of Tom. He was a good friend to many of us. Respected, admired,(at times feared, because of his exceptional wit)but always loved. We miss him now and will continue, until we meet again.

Rember Tom always with a smile on his face. He always had a hello for upper classmates and the under classmates as well. Played a lot of sports in school with my brother Bill Slosar who also recently passed away. Bill always spoke highly of him. RIP

Tom Basinski was a loyal classmate of the St. Agnes Class of 1964 in Flint, Michigan. In High School he was a leader in the classroom and in the sports he loved. He contributed to and embodied the spirit of our class. Indeed, since then, his golf prowess kept Team 1964 out of last place in the annual All Class Conference! We are very proud of all of Tom's accomplishments. But mostly we are thankful for having known him. He graced and enhanced our lives for more than 50 years. That relationship is priceless and makes his passing poignant and extra sorrowful. May he rest in peace.

Great story! Great cause! These scholarships have assisted several young adults in the South Bay area over the last few years!

I live in NJ; Tom Basinski was my cousin.I am interested in your story (obit) which is incomplete and instructs to click for continuation. Try as I may, that is ineffective. Is there a way I can get the complete story? The one about his last story written by fellow columnist is complete (an as all of Tom's, delightful. Thank you.
